My personal background:
Suna was was born and raised in Berlin as the „sandwich“ child (2nd child of 3 children) to Turkish Alevite immigrant parents. She has been the first one in her family to study and made it into the Tech industry without a technology-related academic background. She worked in London, NYC, Munich,…
As a Woman in Tech and specifically in IT-Sales, she has lots of funny anectodes to tell. :.) 
Suna loves people who give her appreciation and the opportunity to grow (she is indeed a short person in height, but rather means growth in terms of „expanding one‘s skills &horizon“), to succeed and to make money 💰. 
She also loves to make you successful through her coaching.

One day, she will also be a famous singer…she just does not really take it seriously enough yet… 

I look forward to connecting with you, thus expanding my network on LinkedIn.
